ewelch: The biggest problem it has is not hardware (although there's plenty of those problems), but that it's from Google. You are not the customer. You are the product Google sells to its customers - advertisers.

True. I saw a segment on Fox New where even with phones with the SIM card removed, in airplane mode and wifi turned off, the phone still tracks your every movement. Then once you power up your phone and connect, guess what, the phone phones it's Google masters and tells them where you have been.

Richard Murdey: It's called a trade off. Batteries deteriorate over time. After two years you can have a faster phone that lasts less long, or a slower phone with better battery life. One or the other.

Apple opted to keep the battery life as long as it could over the life of the phone by balancing the clock speed against the fall in battery capacity. In my book that was the right call and a smart move. (And I don't even own an i-anything.)

Yes, but they should have warned customers about this feature. Many probably upgraded their phones thinking new features were slowing it down and their current phone just couldn't keep up.
